Farce of the Penguins - R rated, Bob Saget writes & directs, Sam J

[Downhome 0]

I posted this in the RAW thread, but I might as well put it in here also:

 

(Bob)Saget is writing and directing "Farce of the Penguins," which lampoons the survival story of "March" and will follow that film's structure, lending character voices to real footage of penguins in the wild. Per Variety, "Farce" tells the story "of one bird's search for love while on a 70-mile trek with hedonistic buddies obsessed with getting laid."

 

(Sam) Jackson will act as narrator in the vein of his "March" counterpart Morgan Freeman, but will lend his "signature" style to the pic to earn its R-rating. Jackson joins a cast that includes Saget (voicing the protagonist penguin), Dave Coulier and John Stamos (rounding out the "Full House" trifecta), Whoopi Goldberg, Harvey Fierstein, Jon Lovitz, Norm MacDonald, Mo'Nique, Carlos Mencia, Tracy Morgan, Lewis Black, Jason Alexander, Dane Cook, Gilbert Gottfried, Jason Biggs, Jamie Kennedy, Alyson Hannigan, James Belushi and Adam Duritz.

 

"Farce of the Penguins" is a ThinkFilm release and is set to hit theaters this summer."

This could be fucking amazing, or it could be terrible. I'm not sure which, but I'll definitely be seeing it.

Sadly, according the imdb message board for this movie, people who went to the advanced screenings for this flick are disappointed as hell. According to them, it's pretty terrible and "just plain vulgar and not funny vulgar either" which actually doesn't surprise me with Saget as writer.
